Hey all,
Dolly here with some goals to tick off one by one!
I really need to get a lot better with my finances.
I'm 40 now so time to grow up and get a grip!

So not looking good for getting the debt paid off by the end of 2023.
I've dug myself into quite a little debt pit. Stupid decisions financially, me keeping my ex BF and his little girl financially for over 2 years, paying my ex's debt (stupid I know), shopping to make myself feel better, takeaways to make myself feel better - all of which have actually made me feel worse.
We live and we learn don't we.
I'll sit and get it all on here later so that I can start paying off bit by bit and keeping myself on track.Debt Free - 4th June 20251
